Abstract
The present disclosure provides an intelligent lighting control system including a releasable faceplate. The faceplate is used for installation of at least one base module. The base module has a base housing that forms a well and includes a first connector positioned in the well. The base module further includes a power terminal configured to receive electrical current and a dimmer circuit configured to modulate a flow of the electrical current to a load terminal coupled to a lighting circuit. A switch controller is mounted in the faceplate and includes a second connector configured to electrically engage with the first connector when the faceplate is pivoted to the base module. The switch controller is further configured to send one or more commands to the base module to control the dimmer circuit.
